Package: postgresql-8.1
Version: 8.1.3-4
Severity: normal
Hi!
When postgres isn't running any upgrade fails. This is due to several
things: The init.d script for postgresql returns false if the daemon
isn't running. The prerm has a quite interesting snippet in it which
comes from debhelper:
#v+
#!/bin/sh -e
VERSION=8.1
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1" ]; then
if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
invoke-rc.d postgresql-8.1 stop || exit $?
else
/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1 stop || exit $?
fi
fi
# End automatically added section
#v-
It checks the returncode of the invoke-rc.d or init script and returns
its return value on errors. Which is quite useless when the script is
set -e, which is sort of madantory according to the policy. :)
Often this thing fixed by putting "|| true" into the prerm, which is a
sensible thing for the prerm anyway (I have no real clue why debhelper
does produce this crazyness), but fixing the init.d script to not fail
when the daemon isn't running on stop should be done, too (likewise with
not failing on start if it's already running?). If I'm not too wrong
this is what LSB requests anyway.
So long, and thanks for the fix in advance.

Thanks for your report. This has been fixed in the latest version of
postgresql-common (uploaded a few days ago).
